Moden Makeup

  At the beginning , I mentioned that Heidi thought the #LiveWithFive blog series would also be a great way to let readers know more about us. Heidi was last week ; now it's my turn. These questions are from Heidi cause me interviewing myself would be weird 😛 What made you want to be a part of #TeamModen ? I contacted Heidi with some social media tips back in 2012 and she responded with: "so you're gonna do it?" 😂 That's how it started. Over time I became enamored with the family, with the vision and with the beauty industry in general. How long have you been a student of skincare, would you become an aesthetician? The people want to know. Thankfully due to this blog, we have a catalogue of all sorts of beauty information for inquiring minds. Like most women, I really became interested in makeup because I wanted to cover post acne hyperpigmentation.

We're wrapping up Season One of #LiveWithFive, blog style, and what better way to do so than to let you know about us. Starting with Heidi .
